Centralised treatment of various sources of industrial waste has been established in many European countries over the last decade. Many facilities are still equipped with non state of the art technology and therefore cannot fulfil the broad field of applications with regard to industrial waste remediation, econ's international client decided to be one step ahead and erected a new econ industries VacuDry® unit at an old existing facility in the UK. Mainly for the thermal desorption of oil based waste - such as oil sludge and contaminated soil - this unit will fulfil multiple tasks in the field of industrial waste remediation.

The unit was built and installed in 2009 at an old building at a location in the north of England. Due to the tight space limitations and the already existing zone for explosion protection, the whole unit was redesigned to fit into the building and fulfil all ATEX requirements of the surrounding complex. Hand in hand with our client we built a real custom-made installation for the required purpose.

The plant mainly remediates oily waste from various sources. Other solvent containing industry wastes such as paint sludge, shredded oil tanks, spray cans and other light weight material can also be treated. With the acquisition of the econ industries VacuDry® technology the old treatment facility has broadened its field of application and is ready for the future of waste remediation.
